Method for supplying power and device therefor

Abstract

Provided is a device including: a battery; a receiving terminal configured to receive power from an external device; a first path configured to supply a portion of the power received from the external device to the battery to charge the battery; and a second path configured to supply a portion of the power received from the external device to a heater to heat the heater.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A device comprising: a processor
 a receiving terminal configured to receive power from an external device; 
 a first path configured to supply a portion of the power received from the external device to a battery included in the device such that the battery is charged; and 
 a second path configured to supply a portion of the power received from the external device directly to a module included in the device without charging the battery, wherein the module comprises a heater configured to perform heated cleaning by using the power received via the second path, and 
 wherein the processor is configured to control supply of the power received from the external device, such that charging of the battery and heating of the heater are simultaneously performed. 
 
     
     
       2. The device of  claim 1 , wherein an amount of power consumed by the module per unit time is equal to or greater than a preset value. 
     
     
       3. The device of  claim 1 , wherein the processor blocks a third path used in supplying power from the battery to the heater while supplying power to the battery.
